On futility

[moonwise]

Every time I see someone posting long-winded screeds about how slash is raping their childhood heroes and Character X is SO NOT GAY and HOW COULD YOU EVER THINK THAT, I want to pat them on the head and say, "You're new to the Internet, aren't you?"

Agreed. I've got a live-and-let-live philosophy regarding fanfic, except when it comes to RPF. Picard/Riker is okay; Patrick Stewart/Jonathan Frakes is not. IMO, the character is separate from the individual, and to write gay or straight fics about people who exist is disrespectful, to my mind.

But, it doesn't stop the Domlijah tinhats.
